Musical Instruments Needed! |
| Unfortunately, jamming at the festival with
other musicians Countrybandits found out that their instruments are very bad. In
this connection we are looking for a good mandolin, guitar,
banjo, steelguitar, dobro and a double bass. We'll consider and appreciate
every suggestion. But, please, bear in mind, that our financial means are very limited.
Probably, there are people who would be happy to donnate
some of the mentioned instruments. We expect you to call us: (4812) 35-49-93 or send an E-mail: tatyanazamilova@mail.ru |
